Researchers find get helping hand
dieters’ dreams
Texas A&M researchers have
been testing drugs that reduce
appetite and aid in losing weight.
Paul Wellman, head of the
A&M psychology department,
said certain drugs injected into
distinct regions of the brain sup
press appetite.
"Identifying brain regions and
drugs involved in the control of
appetite will eventually lead to
more successful drug therapy for
obesity,” he said.
Wellman and a graduate student
found increases in the dose levels
of common appetite drugs reduced
food consumption in animals.
MSC OPAS and St. Joseph’s
Regional Health Center are sponsor

The Texas A&M College
Republicans was named.“Chapter
of the Year” during the College
Republicans’ national convention.
The A&M chapter is the
nation’s largest and has been
named Chapter of the Year four
times in the past five years.
Earlier this year, the chapter
also received several awards at
the state College Republicans
convention.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Prison
officials will ask the state ethics com
mission whether they can once again
allow employees to raise money from
inmates and their families for training
or charities, The Huntsville Item
reported in a copyright story.
Employee activities were halted
last month by Wayne Scott, executive
director of the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice.
Officials said there’s no guarantee
that the money doesn’t end up in the
employees’ pockets rather than going
toward a particular charity or cause.
